What are the seasons to you? Is it a time when you see flowers or colorful leaves? Or do you think of the changing seasons as times for certain holidays? The seasons of the year hold so much more worth than what many of us think. God created the seasons for our benefit. Every detail that He put into spring, summer, autumn, and winter were created for us. Each changing season is a time for us to change along with it. There is so much I could go into about every season. How your mindset should shift. What foods you…

Guest Post by Adena Dueck (From the Book of Daniel) Do you ever catch yourself reading through Bible stories like David and Goliath, Daniel and the Lion’s Den, the book of Acts and think to yourself, “WOW. I wonder if miraculous stuff like this could ever happen in my life.. These men and women of God must have been VERY close to God, or maybe they were just a bunch of nobodies – magically chosen.” We are all called to live an extraordinary life in Christ. Just as Daniel was rescued from the lions den, so God wants to show…

Stress is a real thing. Once you grow up you may be dealing with stress every day. When you were younger, you probably didn’t have the worry, fear, and stress that comes with getting older. You didn’t have the same worries to stress over when you were young and care free. But it shouldn’t be this way, even when you are older. Living in this culture, we are told what should be most important to us. And in turn, we wear ourselves out stressing over those things. You must be the head of that corporate job. Or you must become…

This time of year can be stressful for many. There are dozens of social gatherings to attend. You probably have a million things on your to-do list. And you can’t find a spare moment to catch up. I don’t know about you, but during these times I just crave peace. And I have seen many times that peace can truly only come from one place. “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.” (1 Thess. 3:16) The only way to really have peace in any season…

This year has been difficult for many. And I know that fear and worry have clouded most of our minds. With all that has been going on in the past months, I know that it may be hard to be thankful. It may be hard to find joy when there is so much trouble around us. But we must be grateful, even in the unexpected. First Thessalonians 5:18 tells us, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” In all circumstances, give thanks. Even in the unexpected, stressful, and fearful circumstances…

She didn’t know her worth. Her life wasn’t the best. All she knew was lies, hatred, and pain. Nobody would be around her. To her, she was a nobody that nobody loved. But to One, she was so much more. At the well, she met a man unlike any other. He knew her, from her secrets to her worries. Everything that people hated her for didn’t bother Him. He told her of a love so great that it didn’t care what she had done in her past. This man told her what she was worth. He told her that she…

Prayer is so important in a believer’s walk. It is our way of communicating with God, asking Him for things, and worshiping Him with our words. Although this is so important, many believers have difficulty praying or keeping up a regular prayer life. I know that I am guilt of this myself. But praying to the Lord should not be difficult. It doesn’t have to be anything special or fancy. And you don’t need to feel intimidated if someone prays differently than you do. Every person has their own relationship with the Lord. If you struggle with your prayer life…
